Hey, this is the first post of 2013!
I read in Lew Gitlow's book last night that when making a built-up prop -- he covers the prop flat (outline and rib only), wets the outline, then glues the covered outline with ribs to the spar on the prop block. Lew mentions that he uses wood glue to glue the ribs to the spar in order to prevent damage to the cover. Also, he uses a built-up prop block that is mostly hollow so he can get to the rib to spar joints from underneath the prop.
Lew's process is similar to what Mike did when he reset the prop pitch.
